Version 0.880 du 22/10/2022- Upgrade license to GPLv3 for future license compatibility with some libraries.
- Add OS and UAC compatibility manifests.
- Restore automatic downloading of up-to-date GeoIP databases.
- Set cached hublists to expire in 24 hours, keep them longer only in case of download problems.
- Prefer attempting outgoing connections on IPv4 when there's no IPv6 connectivity.
- Introduce the naming "Optimized" and "Legacy" for the 64-bit and 32-bit builds of DC++ respectively; the former gains advantage of modern OSes and hardware while the latter makes DC++ remain compatible with the 32-bit architecture and / or old hardware.
- Installer: detect available CPU features and offer the best DC++ binary for the current system.
- Set the focus properly on the active window at startup.
- Add new hublist server hublist.pwiam.com; blacklist and remove discontinued or inaccessible server addresses.
- Add AboutConfig frame for testing and debugging purposes.
- Block possible unencrypted direct private message connection attempts (fix adapted from AirDC++).
- Upgrade compiler for better performance; allows further optimizations to modern Windows versions.
- Allow copy of hub address with keyprint on secure hubs (code adapted from AirDC++).
- Require SSSE3 for 64-bit builds.
- Documentation and translations updated as usual.
Version 0.871 du 02/04/2022- Fixed a bug that restores web connections to certain servers with multiple hostnames, unfortunately including our SourceForge host server. This means that we’re unable to show the usual announcement of the available update at the start of previously released DC++ versions – therefore everyone should do the upgrade manually this time by visiting our official project host website’s download page. Please make sure, for your own safety, that you always download DC++ from the official site and not from other 3rd party websites search engines may suggest.
- Updated the secure connections library (OpenSSL) fixing a serious, rather easily exploitable issue that can allow malicious DOS attacks. This should certainly impact all released DC++ versions since 0.851, but older versions from the last 15 years might also be affected.
- Added a new, opt-out mechanism that time to time informs a random subset our userbase about possible new testing releases, similarly as it is done for stable releases, at the start of the program.
